Transracial Adoptive Families Rally in Alabama to Protest Democrat's Racist Comments
Alvin Holmes, a Democrat in the Alabama House of Representatives from Montgomery, has been in hot water lately for his blatantly racist comments about Clarence Thomas, abortion, and adoption. Holmes referred to Thomas as an "Uncle Tom," said that his white Republican colleagues in the House would force their daughters to abort a mixed-race grandchild in spite of their pro-life views, and that whites in Alabama do not adopt black children.Also read: Whites Who Adopted Black Kids Rally to Prove Democrat's Racist Abortion Charge Wrong
"I will bring you $100,000 cash tomorrow if you show me a whole bunch of whites that adopted blacks in Alabama. I will go down there and mortgage my house and get it cash in 20 dollar bills and bring it to you in a little briefcase," Holmes said.Perhaps unsurprisingly, white families in Alabama who have adopted black or mixed-raced children were not too pleased with Holmes' rhetoric. A Facebook page "Faces of Families in Alabama" was quickly founded in response and now has over 6,000 "likes." Yesterday, organizers behind the page as well as other adoption advocates and parents rallied outside of the Alabama State House to prove to Holmes that families like theirs do exist in the state.
